[TWRP] (ish) TWRP 3.2.1 for honor 9 running GSI 8.1 ROMs

[ambitiousButRubbish]

lets make this very clear:
I HAVE NOT DEVELOPED THIS, IT WAS LINKED IN ANOTHER FORUM BY ANOTHER MEMBER WHO ALSO DID NOT DEVELOP IT

this is actually developed by a member over at the Chinese website '7to' http://www.7to.cn, so its a recovery based on TWRP 3.2.1 but seems to have its own UI and feature set.

WORKING

[COLOR="Black"][LIST]

NOT WORKING

[*]Decryption
[*]Data backup
[*]Flash from internal storage (since it cant be decrypted)
[/LIST][/COLOR]

I am not responsible if you brick your device, flash with caution and ONLY on an 8.1 GSI where your current TWRP doesn't work.
This does not do anything to capacitive keys, if they work before flashing they will work after flashing

it boots up with TWRP, but flashing Gapps was failure.

UPDATE: I used Open Gapps, better try Ground Zero GZR Gapps...

GZR apps 180313 works good.

Flashed a kernel, magisk and xposed with this. Seems to be working great.

I haven't flashed anything with this yet, but at least it can do the basic stuff. Also, what kernel did you flash, I know there's the proto8 kernel (or whatever it's called) but I'm not too keen on it.

Proto8 is what I installed. Haven't made my mind up on it yet. Battery drain is definitely worse so far but apparently it takes a few cycles to adapt.
